I LOVE your new outfit! The colors and style are great!. You remind me of Harpo Marx (except you appear to be talking in the picture).

Kleanthis man,this is great stuff.I have to get my self made a new summer costume and I am still trying to decide on the cut that I will use. I come from Croatia and temperatures here are as high as in Greece during the summer,so I think I am going to go for as less layers of cloth as possible. I wonder, what do you all think about clowns in short sleeves?

That costume looks GREAT!

If I had only one slight critique it would be that the hair and hat are so similar in color that they tend to blend. If there were a way to make it contrast a little better, I think it could be good. But even as it is, it's pretty cool.

I sometimes use short sleeves. My reason for this is that I juggle and I want sleeves out of the way so as not to interfere. So you see hair on my arms. But, so what? I mean, if your character can't carry you to the point that people aren't so concerned about stuff like that, then you have more important things to work on than costuming.

I always wear my tape measure watch (available from Daytona Magic or David Ginn).

You ask the kids if they know what time it is, pull out the tape measure and say "Oh, it's 26 inches after the hour."

You are in Europe, but you're in luck; there's metric on the other side!

Then you push the little button in the middle of the watch, the tape retracts, and you say, "Time flies."

Of course, it doesn't tell real time, but it's so much fun -- who cares?

well, a classic bit with the American clowns has always been the alarm cloc wrist watch. Like this:



The back of the clock is removed by means of usually three screws on the back, and removing the stems and keys from the back. from there, you can attach an elastic band and fasten it to the case for a wrist stranp.
Good Luck, and a really Great Costume!
Cheers,
Scruffy
